7 Chapter 007: Lunch

Sato-San was eating his lunch with Shirai-Kunand Kawasaki-Sanin the back of the school were no one would see them. They weren't really talking about anything of interesting but were having fun anyway.

They stopped talking after a bit and just sat there while continuing to eat until a familiar face appeared, it was Shiratori-San.

"Oh, hey Shiratori-San. What you doing back here?"

"Ah, Sato-San! Hi! I was just looking for a place to eat and read."

"Makes sense, ah let me introduce you to my friends."

"This is Shirai Sota."

"Hey, I'm the student council president, it's nice to meet you."

"This is Kawasaki Hayate."

"Yo, I'm not that strong and that such, but it still would be nice to get along!"

"It's nice to meet you both, I'm Shiratori Kanna. I enjoy reading books and everything else related with literature."

"So, how did you guys meet, Sato-San never told us."

Kawasaki-San cut into ask the question, it was true that Sato-San never told them how he met Shiratori-San, so he decided that now would be a good time to do so.

"I picked up a book in the library by Sato Makoto, she noticed me and asked if I was going to check it out but I told her I had a copy at home. After that we learned that we were in the same class together and that's that."

"I was kind of hoping for something more extravagant, not something average like this. You don't really have friends other than us so I was expecting something with more to it."

"Well sorry for not living that interesting of a life. Only so much I can do."

Shirai-Kun grabbed Sato-San, pulled him close and began to whisper in his ear.

"She doesn't know about you being Makoto?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to tell her, think it's quite easy to tell as to why I did so."

"Okay, it's your friend, I'm not going to spill anything for you."

"Thanks."

Sato-San pulled away and began eating again. His friends stood up and ran away yelling the same thing.

"Sorry! Just remembered there's something I have to do!"

"Ah! Hey!"

It was just Sato-San and Shiratori-San now, or at least it would have been if he didn't notice that they were still peeking around the corner.

'I know what you're trying to do, it's not like anything's going to happen anyway.'

"Can I sit down?"

"Hm, oh yeah, of course you can."

"Okay then."

She sat down next to Sato-San and opened her lunch, starting to eat afterwards. He looked over and saw that all the food in her bento looked really good.

"Did you make this yourself?"

"Not just myself, my mother helped me a little bit."

"It still looks really good. I would still consider it to be made by you, just because someone helped doesn't make it so it's not you who made it in the end."

"Would you like to try it?"

"Hm?"

He now had a hotdog in the shape of an octopus in front of him, Shiratori-San was letting him try her lunch.

"R-Really? You'll let me try?"

"Y-Yes, of course you can decline if you want."

"No no! I'll accept."

He watched as the chopsticks came closer to his face as he also moved in closer, finally he ate the hot dog.

"This is really good!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! I wouldn't mind having this every day…"

He had just realized what he had said, he began to get embarrassed after thinking of the implications of the phrase he had just let slip out of his mouth. He saw that Shiratori-San was now completely red and looking down trying to avoid looking at him.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way! It's just that it was good…And I wouldn't mind having more in the future…Now I'm just making this more complicated…"

"I-It's okay, I get what you're saying. Thank you for saying it was good."

"No problem."

They continued eating from their bentos again with no new developments after that little incident.
